Chorizo & Veggie Taco Recipe

Ingredients:

8 oz chorizo (I used Cacique soy chorizo for this particular recipe)

1 whole sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes

1 cup brussels sprouts, quartered

1 Vidalia or sweet yellow onion, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 tbsp Heckdust OR 1 tbsp smoked paprika + 1 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt & pepper to taste

8-10 corn tortillas

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 200°F.

In a cast iron pan or heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. Add chorizo, sweet potato, brussels sprouts, and onion and sauté until everything is browning on the edges. Brussels may blacken; this is normal. Add seasonings and reduce heat to low. Hold hot.

Arrange tortillas in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet. Place in oven for 5-8 minutes, or until tortillas have softened and warmed. Add to a plate and spoon in chorizo and veggie mixture.
